corporate event planning in boston
Your brand deserves an event that actually feels like you. We build every corporate event from scratch: no templates, no shortcuts, just seamless execution that makes your team (and your guests) look forward to what's next.
The Same Obsessive Planning You'd Expect From a Wedding Planner, Applied to Your Business
After 17+ years of planning events where every detail matters (and there are a lot of details), we've learned one thing: great events don't happen by accident. Whether you're throwing your annual fundraising gala, hosting a client appreciation dinner, or planning a holiday party that people will actually remember, Contagious Events brings the same full-service approach we're known for: custom, scratch-made, and very much not cookie-cutter.
We're based in Boston and work throughout New England. If you've got a vision (or even just a vibe), we'll take it from there.

Get in touch and tell us what you're working on.
We approached Contagious Events with a challenge: create a fundraising event that would engage a younger audience in the biotech community while still meaningfully connecting back to our mission. They developed an entirely original mini golf and food truck concept, with custom-built holes representing the local nonprofits we support, and managed every detail from branding and vendor sourcing to logistics and execution. The result was a fresh, high-energy event that has drawn hundreds of attendees and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for organizations working to eliminate poverty in Greater Boston. Contagious Events helped us transform an idea into a signature annual fundraiser that continues to grow and make an impact year after year.

Here's How It Works
First, Let's Connect.
We start with a conversation about your event: goals, guest count, vibe, and budget. No pressure, no pitch — just us figuring out if we're the right fit.
Concept + Design
We build out your event concept from scratch — venue, vendors, décor, timeline, and every detail in between. You tell us the vision; we turn it into a plan.
Vendor Management.
We handle every vendor relationship: sourcing, contracting, and coordinating. You won't need to manage a single email chain.
Day-Of Execution
On the day of your event, we're on-site and on it. Your only job is to show up and enjoy it.
